For OP, I switch between Java, Ruby, python, bash, read scala, rust, Haskell, go… And the advice here in this comment chain is spot on: 1. Know the underlying concepts, all programming languages are “same” after awhile (ex: object.prop, function calls, global vs non-globals, lambdas/anon funcs. 2. Use a compiler and or linter to catch syntax errors and don’t worry about memorizing it - knowing how to read the output/error msg and solving the issue is more important

Same here, different set of 8 or so languages I cycle through. I stopped caring. From time to time I'll make a silly mistake like using "def" in rust instead of "fn". The highlighter or the compiler will shout at me, I'll fix it and move on.
